The Central African Republic's capital of Bangui has seen its Muslim population drop from 130,000 to under 1000 over the past few months. Over the past year, thousands across CAR have been killed and nearly a million have been displaced. The United Nations recently stated that the entire Western half of the country has now been cleansed of Muslims.
CAR has never fully recovered from France's colonial rule, and it has only known ten years of a civilian government - from 1993 to 2003 - since achieving independence in 1960. Coup after coup, often with French military involvement, has led many to refer to the country as a phantom state. The current conflict has now completely erased the rule of law and order, and left the UN and international community looking confused and impotent.
In March 2013, the Séléka, a mostly Muslim rebel alliance, rose up and overthrew the corrupt government of François Bozizé, while bringing terror and chaos across the country - pillaging, killing and raping with impunity. In response, mostly Christian self-defense forces, called the anti-balaka, formed to defend CAR against Séléka attacks.
Clashes grew more frequent throughout 2013 as the Séléka grew more ruthless. In December 2013, French and African troops went in to disarm the Séléka and staunch the bloodshed. The anti-balaka, seizing on a weakened Séléka, then went on the offensive.
CAR had no real history of religious violence, and the current conflict is not based on any religious ideology. The fighting, however, turned increasingly sectarian in the fall of 2013, with revenge killings becoming the norm. And as the Séléka's power waned, the anti-balaka fed their need for revenge by brutalizing Muslim civilians.
"Too few peacekeepers were deployed too late; the challenge of disarming the Séléka, containing the anti-balaka, and protecting the Muslim minority was underestimated," Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement.
The bloodshed has not stopped. The UN is still debating whether or not to send peacekeepers. Even if a peacekeeping operation is approved, it will take six months for troops to be assembled.

United Nations - Police CommissionerRolandZamora explains the policing mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional IntegratedStabilizationMission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). Based on the mandate, UN police supported the government to develop a capacity building plan for the national police and gendarmerie to help consolidate the rule of law in the Central African Republic. The UN police component also supports gender mainstreaming of the national police. UN police protect civilians through the deployment of formed police units that patrol insecure areas, deter violence and crime and secure the population in provisional internally displaced persons camps, as well as through engaging the communities with individual police officers.
United Nations police are deployed in 11 peacekeeping operations, as well as 6 Special Political Missions to help restore confidence in host-State police and rule of law structures and serving to protect civilians, providing electoral and border security and management, limiting the effects of transnational organised crime, investigating and preventing cases of sexual and gender-based violence. Over 12,000 UN police officers from 90 countries serve the United Nations as individual police officers (IPOs), in formed police units (FPUs) or as United Nations staff (P-staff).

The Central African Republic: a country abandoned to its fate

Georgiana Epure speaks at the GatesInternalSymposium on February 2017.
In 2013 the government of the Central African Republic asked for international assistance to protect its populations against mass atrocities. This presentation analyses how successful the response of the international society was in halting the crisis and making the Central African Republic a responsible sovereign.

What is today the Central African Republic has been inhabited for millennia; however, the country's current borders were established by France, which ruled the country as a colony starting in the late 19th century. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic was ruled by a series of autocratic leaders; by the 1990s, calls for democracy led to the first multi-party democratic elections in 1993. Ange-Félix Patassé became president, but was later removed by General François Bozizé in the 2003 coup. The Central African Republic Bush War began in 2004 and, despite a peace treaty in 2007 and another in 2011, fighting broke out between various factions in December 2012, leading to ethnic and religious cleansing of the Muslim minority and massive population displacement in 2013 and 2014.

United Nations

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

During the Second World War, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated talks on a successor agency to the League of Nations, and the United Nations Charter was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies. The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. The organization's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success.

United Nations (Rui En album)

United Nations (simplified Chinese:共和国; traditional Chinese:共和國; pinyin:gònghéguó) is Rui En's second studio album, released in October 2008. The album was produced by Hype Records and exclusively distributed at CD-Rama music stores, released only for the Singapore local market. Rui En resumed the use of her Chinese name, 瑞恩 (Ruì'ēn) in this album.

The album followed Rui En's six-year hiatus from the music industry and featured lyrics penned exclusively by the artist, written in the form of a diary documenting her thoughts and opinions.

Track listing

All lyrics written by Rui En,all music composed by Ken Lim, except "Inside Out (穿反)" composed by Taz.

Opened in January 2007, the contemporary shopping mall sits on a site directly above Clarke Quay MRT station. Managed by Far East Organization, the mall has five levels totalling 200,000 square feet (19,000m2) of retailing space, and houses Singapore's first purpose-built SOHO units. The mall has a distinctive Japanese theme, with a wide variety of Japanese shops and restaurants as tenants. The mall's developer, Far East Organization, planned to turn Clarke Quay Central into a Japanese food paradise in the style of Decks Tokyo Beach, a popular waterfront shopping and entertainment complex in Tokyo's Odaiba district.

UN Police

The UN Police is an integral part of the United Nations peace operations. Currently there are over 12,500 UN Police operating in over 90 countries. The goal of the UN Police is to help create a safer environment, as well as protecting civilians from criminal activities. The UN Police works throughout the world through 17 different field missions.

Summary

Since the 1960s, the United Nations have been positioning police officers in certain peace operations. These operations were originally limited to monitoring, observing and reporting, but by the early 1990s, advising, mentoring and training of these personnel were adopted into the activities of the peace operations. This UN Police force now acts as a corrective power with domestic police and other law enforcement organisations.

The United Nations Police are a significant part of the United Nations agency and they lead by promoting peace and security. This is evident through the daily patrolling, advising of other domestic police services and their insurance to uphold human rights. They restore the public safety and the rule of law through the United Nations. Their role has expanded rapidly over the last decade. Not only has the United Nations almost tripled the number of police authorised for deployment, but also the United Nations Police now has control over mandating multi-dimensional roles within the system. In the UN missions in Kosovo and East Timor, UN Police were given an executive mandate to safeguard law and order while facilitating the launch of a new domestic police service. The UN Police mission in Kosovo helped to successfully establish the Kosovo Police Service, while in Timor-Leste, districts of the country have been continuously handed over to the National Police, while UN Police return to their more traditional role of advising and supervising operations. In the past 15 years, the number of United Nations Police officers in action has significantly increased from 5,840 to 17,500.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: BANGUI: TENSIONS STILL RUNNING HIGH

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: BANGUI: TENSIONS STILL RUNNING HIGH

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: BANGUI: TENSIONS STILL RUNNING HIGH

French/Nat
French expatriates caught up in the fighting in the Central African Republic spoke Friday of their terror.
They were speaking in the capital Bangui as they prepared to be evacuated.
The streets of Bangui remain tense, with French troops on patrol against rebel soldiers who tried to overthrow PresidentAnge-Felix Patasse last week.
Rough justice in Bangui - a suspected child looter is punished by three men who take the law into their own hands.
Parts of the city had transformed into a chaotic wreck as local guards fought looters to protect shops and storage sights.
No fighting was reported in the former French colony Friday, as French tanks and soldiers roamed the capital's streets.
Efforts to restart peace talks between the government and rebel soldiers were under way.
Hundreds of foreign business people and aid workers have fled.
This French resident, preparing for evacuation, said she feared the rebels would shoot her:
SOUNDBITE:
At first it was very difficult because the rebels were going around the inside of the house and they led me down to the bottom of the garden. And then they told me that they themselves were fed up because the first time the French Army saw them they shot at them and they would shoot the first French people they saw. Then my friend had the good idea to say that we were part of the German community. And then they said the first French people they saw they would fight on their own ground. Apart from that there wasn't anything much. The shooting alarmed me. There was one dead body about fifty metres from the house. They were very well surrounded by the military who were right in front of my house......no, no ..it was quite a big number (of people)....if you like we've lost everything..... that's life.
SUPERCAPTION: French ForeignNational
The mutineers, surrounded by French troops in a military base on the outskirts of the city, claimed hundreds of troops from elsewhere in the country were ready to join their battle.
Opposition leader August Boukanga said President Patasse had offered to bring more groups into his multiparty government in hopes of winning over groups who might otherwise support the mutineers.
Boukanga said he and other politicians had yet to decide on the offer, but Boukanga himself appeared to favor a more radical solution.
Boukanga said Central Africans were losing confidence in Patasse and that the president's reliance on French military might had only contributed to the perception he was weak.
Demonstrators on Thursday burned down the French cultural center to protest the intervention.
France has a long history of propping up a series of often tyrannical leaders whose corruption and misrule contributed to the country's - and the region's - current problems.
But some here believe that this time, France's intervention was different.
Patasse's election in 1993 was seen as the start of a new democratic era. Most of the army, however, remains faithful to Gen.Andre Kolingba, who came to power in a bloodless 1981 coup and lost the 1993 vote to Patasse.
Patasse has angered the army by falling behind on salary payments and, most recently, transferring control of the national armory from soldiers to his presidential guards in an attempt to establish control over the army.
Bangui has been relatively calm since French soldiers, backed by Mirage fighter jets and helicopter gunships, went into action against mutineers Wednesday.
The French maintain about 1,300 soldiers in their former colony, and Bangui serves as a major base for French military operations in francophone Africa.

The Central African Republic's capital of Bangui has seen its Muslim population drop from 130,000 to under 1000 over the past few months. Over the past year, thousands across CAR have been killed and nearly a million have been displaced. The United Nations recently stated that the entire Western half of the country has now been cleansed of Muslims.
CAR has never fully recovered from France's colonial rule, and it has only known ten years of a civilian government - from 1993 to 2003 - since achieving independence in 1960.

Coup after coup, often with French military involvement, has led many to refer to the country as a phantom state. The current conflict has now completely erased the rule of law and order, and left the UN and international community looking confused and impotent.
In March 2013, the Séléka, a mostly Muslim rebel alliance, rose up and overthrew the corrupt government of François Bozizé, while bringing terror and chaos across the country - pillaging, killing and raping with impunity. In response, mostly Christian self-defense forces, called the anti-balaka, formed to defend CAR against Séléka attacks.
Clashes grew more frequent throughout 2013 as the Séléka grew more ruthless. In December 2013, French and African troops went in to disarm the Séléka and staunch the bloodshed. The anti-balaka, seizing on a weakened Séléka, then went on the offensive.
CAR had no real history of religious violence, and the current conflict is not based on any religious ideology. The fighting, however, turned increasingly sectarian in the fall of 2013, with revenge killings becoming the norm. And as the Séléka's power waned, the anti-balaka fed their need for revenge by brutalizing Muslim civilians.
"Too few peacekeepers were deployed too late; the challenge of disarming the Séléka, containing the anti-balaka, and protecting the Muslim minority was underestimated," Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement.
The bloodshed has not stopped. The UN is still debating whether or not to send peacekeepers. Even if a peacekeeping operation is approved, it will take six months for troops to be assembled.

The town of Birao, with 10,000 residents, is suffering from its remote location in the north of the country and receives little aid. We are helping the community towards food self-sufficiency through farming support, including the introduction of a variety of cassava plant that is resistant to disease.

French/Nat
French expatriates caught up in the fighting in the Central African Republic spoke Friday of their terror.
They were speaking in the capital Bangui as they prepared to be evacuated.
The streets of Bangui remain tense, with French troops on patrol against rebel soldiers who tried to overthrow PresidentAnge-Felix Patasse last week.
Rough justice in Bangui - a suspected child looter is punished by three men who take the law into their own hands.
Parts of the city had transformed into a chaotic wreck as local guards fought looters to protect shops and storage sights.
No fighting was reported in the former French colony Friday, as French tanks and soldiers roamed the capital's streets.
Efforts to restart peace talks between the government and rebel soldiers were under way.
Hundreds of foreign business people and aid workers have fled.
This French resident, preparing for evacuation, said she feared the rebels would shoot her:
SOUNDBITE:
At first it was very difficult because the rebels were going around the inside of the house and they led me down to the bottom of the garden. And then they told me that they themselves were fed up because the first time the French Army saw them they shot at them and they would shoot the first French people they saw. Then my friend had the good idea to say that we were part of the German community. And then they said the first French people they saw they would fight on their own ground. Apart from that there wasn't anything much. The shooting alarmed me. There was one dead body about fifty metres from the house. They were very well surrounded by the military who were right in front of my house......no, no ..it was quite a big number (of people)....if you like we've lost everything..... that's life.
SUPERCAPTION: French ForeignNational
The mutineers, surrounded by French troops in a military base on the outskirts of the city, claimed hundreds of troops from elsewhere in the country were ready to join their battle.
Opposition leader August Boukanga said President Patasse had offered to bring more groups into his multiparty government in hopes of winning over groups who might otherwise support the mutineers.
Boukanga said he and other politicians had yet to decide on the offer, but Boukanga himself appeared to favor a more radical solution.
Boukanga said Central Africans were losing confidence in Patasse and that the president's reliance on French military might had only contributed to the perception he was weak.
Demonstrators on Thursday burned down the French cultural center to protest the intervention.
France has a long history of propping up a series of often tyrannical leaders whose corruption and misrule contributed to the country's - and the region's - current problems.
But some here believe that this time, France's intervention was different.
Patasse's election in 1993 was seen as the start of a new democratic era. Most of the army, however, remains faithful to Gen.Andre Kolingba, who came to power in a bloodless 1981 coup and lost the 1993 vote to Patasse.
Patasse has angered the army by falling behind on salary payments and, most recently, transferring control of the national armory from soldiers to his presidential guards in an attempt to establish control over the army.
Bangui has been relatively calm since French soldiers, backed by Mirage fighter jets and helicopter gunships, went into action against mutineers Wednesday.
The French maintain about 1,300 soldiers in their former colony, and Bangui serves as a major base for French military operations in francophone Africa.

War in the Central African Republic (Full Length)

Subscribe to VICENews here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
The Central African Republic's capital of Bangui has seen its Muslim population drop from 130,000 to under 1000 over the past few months. Over the past year, thousands across CAR have been killed and nearly a million have been displaced. The United Nations recently stated that the entire Western half of the country has now been cleansed of Muslims.
CAR has never fully recovered from France's colonial rule, and it has only known ten years of a civilian government - from 1993 to 2003 - since achieving independence in 1960. Coup after coup, often with French military involvement, has led many to refer to the country as a phantom state. The current conflict has now completely erased the rule of law and order, and left the UN and international community looking confused and impotent.
In March 2013, the Séléka, a mostly Muslim rebel alliance, rose up and overthrew the corrupt government of François Bozizé, while bringing terror and chaos across the country - pillaging, killing and raping with impunity. In response, mostly Christian self-defense forces, called the anti-balaka, formed to defend CAR against Séléka attacks.
Clashes grew more frequent throughout 2013 as the Séléka grew more ruthless. In December 2013, French and African troops went in to disarm the Séléka and staunch the bloodshed. The anti-balaka, seizing on a weakened Séléka, then went on the offensive.
CAR had no real history of religious violence, and the current conflict is not based on any religious ideology. The fighting, however, turned increasingly sectarian in the fall of 2013, with revenge killings becoming the norm. And as the Séléka's power waned, the anti-balaka fed their need for revenge by brutalizing Muslim civilians.
"Too few peacekeepers were deployed too late; the challenge of disarming the Séléka, containing the anti-balaka, and protecting the Muslim minority was underestimated," Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement.
The bloodshed has not stopped. The UN is still debating whether or not to send peacekeepers. Even if a peacekeeping operation is approved, it will take six months for troops to be assembled.

Central African Republic Crimes Court

C.A.R. CRIMES COURT ---
Central African Republic has approved a law creating a special criminal court to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity during more than a decade of ethnic and religious conflict.

MINUSCA - UN police in UN Mission in Central African Republic

United Nations - Police CommissionerRolandZamora explains the policing mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional IntegratedStabilizationMission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). Based on the mandate, UN police supported the government to develop a capacity building plan for the national police and gendarmerie to help consolidate the rule of law in the Central African Republic. The UN police component also supports gender mainstreaming of the national police. UN police protect civilians through the deployment of formed police units that patrol insecure areas, deter violence and crime and secure the population in provisional internally displaced persons camps, as well as through engaging the communities with individual police officers.
United Nations police are deployed in 11 peacekeeping operations, as well as 6 Special Political Missions to help restore confidence in host-State police and rule of law structures and serving to protect civilians, providing electoral and border security and management, limiting the effects of transnational organised crime, investigating and preventing cases of sexual and gender-based violence. Over 12,000 UN police officers from 90 countries serve the United Nations as individual police officers (IPOs), in formed police units (FPUs) or as United Nations staff (P-staff).
